Indices and metrics

An index

A value we name and publish a method for. The method changes only in a new version, announced in advance.

A metric

A column we compute from raw exchange data for each contract and interval. The catalog has 220 in 19 datasets.

Point-in-time

Both use only data available at the time, with exchange and local timestamps. Published history is not rewritten.

Method

These rules apply to all three. Each index’s page has its own formula.

What goes in

Stablecoin-settled perpetuals. No coin-margined contracts or dated futures.

One column each

Cost is spread_bps, Depth is total_dollar_depth, Impact is kyle_like_lambda in bps per $1M. The API serves the same columns.

Per contract

Each value is one contract’s last 24 hours. Nothing is combined across contracts or venues.

Next version

Indices for the whole market and for US-stock and commodity baskets, combined across Binance, OKX and Hyperliquid, with a daily fixing and history back to 2020.

As of 23:30 UTC, 15 minutes behind. Each value is one contract’s last 24 hours of 5-minute rows. The charts plot those rows.

Aperiodic

Built from hundreds of terabytes of raw data and distilled into point-in-time metrics you can pull as parquet files. Plus the raw trades, quotes and derivatives data behind them.
